When did that small area become most of the country? Still winter doesn’t start till December 21 in the US.

you both thought mentioning the fall holiday is offside for an article about the fall? why?

You can tell there are a lot of non civil litigators in the comment section.

There is no distinction between a jury or bench trial aside from who is ultimately the fact finder at trial. In either case, the judge is still limited by the allegations and claims that the plaintiff asserts (plus defenses and any counterclaims raised by the defendant). Again, the judge does not have the authority to…

Jefferson (screw him and his slavery loving self) literally wanted it to be that way. He said the Living generation should not be bound to the dead and that the constitution should be rewritten every generation. He didnt think just revisiting it was good enough because he predicted that powerful groups would make…

Except that’s not at all a judge’s responsibility. A judge is an umpire. Their job is to call balls and strikes, not make managerial decisions for one or both teams.

This is what she should have been grilled about. Not hypothetical cases that any jurist worth thier salt would refuse to comment on.

“Senior prosecutor Joan Illuzzi said in Manhattan Criminal Court on Wednesday, adding that Amy had used police in a fashion that was “both racially offensive and designed to intimidate...”

Sorry for the double post—I meant to reply to you, not Maria.

We’re not allowed to have anything good now. If something is accidentally good, it must be fixed so it isn’t good. Like Instagram. It’s been improved so much that now it sucks giant donkey balls. Maybe I’m just old and cranky, but I’m so very tired of everything turning to crap. I’m too young to retire, too old to put…

Still not as scary as this new layout.

“Senator, people are dying, they need monetary assistance, and you are hypocritically pushing a far-right religious nutto onto the Supreme Court. Your response?”

“We have a right to know how she reproduced.”

About 20 years ago, a friend of mine and I went to Rome. She had a friend who was a reporter for whatever newspaper the Vatican has. We met him for lunch and...

“she’s just leaning into the litigious nature of our culture and seeing if she can shake a famous down for some petty cash”

This is yet another one of those things that exists because it allows some faceless entity like these schools to reduce its expenses by externalizing them onto individuals who don’t have power to do anything about it.

My masters program was a mix of in-person and online classes, and in the three years it took to complete, I sat for exactly one “traditional” exam online with timed questions that you had to answer in order. That was freaking stressful enough. I can’t imagine if there’d been a camera monitoring my eye and body…

Sometimes I still call my best friend Shane and say “My wife!” and just hang up.

not a good trailer, hopefully a good movie. cohen always gets the benefit of the doubt from me, but his film output as a whole has been pretty weak.

What’s more, those foods are things we really like. As was noted upthread, whole industries are based on scientifically perfecting and supplying high-interest foods and drinks that at best should be an occasional treat and at worst should just be avoided. Another large sophisticated industry tells us that that’s what…
